Junior High (7th-8th)

Student Life at BCS!

BCS students lead active and enriching lives!

During our students’ junior high years, Bethel provides special opportunities for the development of community spirit and the enrichment of their education, forming lifelong memories along the way. Here are just a few of the many activities we offer:

Student Events

ROC

Our annual Retreat on Campus serves as an ice-breaking team builder where new junior high students get a taste of our student life Bethel and everyone has time to bond with their classes through a day of fun activities.

Annual Christmas Bash & Talent Contest

After a challenging semester, our junior high unwinds at the annual Christmas party, with music, light-hearted competition, and plenty of good cheer!

Spring Formal

Students get fancy for this formal event, which gives students the chance to socialize and practice being ladies and gentlemen at an off-campus venue.

The Wrap

Each year is "wrapped up" with a fun-filled day of games, competitions, water fights and food. It's one last chance to enjoy Bethel's student life and spend time with classmates before summer break.

The Arts

Writing is yet another way of creating and expressing artistic gifts! In the ACSI Creative Writing Festival, young writers' work is evaluated by judges, with superior works in each division and category advancing to the regional level. Select poems, essays, and short stories are even published! Also see Junior High Arts.
